provide a summary of the modelling and results features carried out
in each example.
Software requirements
The LUSAS software version, software product (and
version of that product) and any product options that are required
in order to run an example will be stated in a usage box at the
beginning of each example, along with any relevant notes, like
this::

Notes
- Any new examples, or examples
updated for this software release are marked
accordingly.
- Examples
that cannot be run using the LUSAS
Evaluation / Teaching
and Training version (which has restrictions on problem
size) are noted in those examples.
- LUSAS
Academic will run any example, provided the correct software product option is selected during
start-up.
- LUSAS
Composite examples can be run in any software product if a
Composite product option has also been purchased.
